SOL VISTA Information

SOL VISTA helps buildings quickly and continuously reduce utility expenses, comply with energy benchmarks, and more. Commercial building owners and managers can improve the performance and profitability of their buildings by using SOL VISTA’s performance data analytics platform, Skywalk. Skywalk has already enabled users to cut utility costs by as much as 48% (or $0.5MM/yr) per site. Skywalk continually reduces utility spend, finding new opportunities as building performance, incentives, and more viable technologies change over time. Skywalk aggregates and analyzes building data to pinpoint building-specific measures that reduce utility spend while maximizing ROI. Skywalk’s features and functionality include utility data aggregation, performance monitoring, benchmarking compliance, measurement & verification, and energy procurement. The platform now interacts directly with over 100 utilities throughout the U.S. and serves hundreds of buildings with savings of millions of dollars in utility costs each year, while also significantly reducing their environmental footprint. With hundreds of hotels served, Skywalk subscribers benefit from one of the largest databases of cross-brand, hotel building performance data. This vast dataset allows for a more accurate picture of how subscribed buildings compare to peer buildings across numerous industry-specific building performance metrics and within individual markets. In addition to the platform’s internal benchmarking capabilities, it also connects directly to ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager for building benchmarking and compliance reporting in all benchmarking mandated jurisdictions. Beyond efficiently aggregating, exchanging, and warehousing ongoing data, Skywalk's industry-leading analytics provide actionable intelligence that empowers subscribers to continuously optimize utility rates and building efficiency.
